How Everactive powers a dense sensor network with virtually no power at all

Everactive is a company that combines battery-free, self-powered sensors with powerful cloud analytics to provide "end-to-end" Industrial IoT solutions (IIoT) to its customers. Their low-power semiconductor and networking technology allows for continuous streaming of asset health data from devices operating indefinitely from harvested energy sources. The company's initial products monitor steam systems in various industries and applications, serving large manufacturers in sectors such as Food & Beverage, Consumer Packaged Goods, Chemical Process Industries, Pharmaceuticals, Pulp & Paper, and Facilities Management. Everactive's sensors are batteryless, allowing for cost-prohibitive monitoring of factory devices previously difficult to equip with sensors. The company uses TimescaleDB, a PostgreSQL extension, to store and manage its data stack, leveraging schema-as-code tools and internal/external schema separation. After switching from OpenTSDB, Everactive has seen significant performance improvements and reduced downtime. The team plans to continue innovating on their technology platform, expanding product offerings such as wireless range, power requirements, and sensor integration, while developing a localization feature to identify asset deployment locations.
